Right, no game on and I'm bored. What nationalities have played competitively for Sligo Rovers?
Irish, English, Scottish, Northern Irish, Dutch, Barbadian, Portugese, Spanish, American, Bolivian, French/Benin, Polish, Hungarian, Australian, Vincentian, Austrian, Nigerian, Bosnian, South African, Moroccan, Welsh.
Soon to be Cameroonian, I'm sure there's a few more?
Austrian (Albert Straka)
Gabriel Ojo from Nigeria i think, about 40 years ago. Does anyone remember him?. I understand he was recommended and sent here by a missionary priest.Quote:

This scout also sent us Peter Cubussen and Daniel Moreno together with Johnny Hoecks (later arrested) and Michael Zaalmann. We are indeed indebted to this man for sending such talent our way and look forward to any future recommendations...
Surely we've had a good few Taff's down the years. Aled Rowlands for one.
Wes Charles St Vincent/Kitts international,
Ah but he was born before it became a state. Cue massive Google search.Quote:

He wasn't the worst player we've had, especially in those days - what was he arrested for.Quote:
